A Kabbaz shirt in the wild--can it be?

It looks like he didn't quite slope the shoulders enough for you. Hmm. Might just be how you're standing.

The Ercole is a bit too full and high for me. I do hope to see more examples of Ambrosi's work though.

Ambrosi should be happy that most of these SF'ers are civilized people...seeing him type and be active on SF and still disregard e-mails and have the audacity to talk about SF members..could only lead to me putting hands on him when I saw him during his visit.

I suspected it was a Kabbaz. I recognised the fabric and collar from some photographs you posted years ago of your AK shirts resting on hangers. Although I wanted to suggest it, it seemed almost ridiculous to suggest that we were looking at a Kabbaz in the wild.

SA should charge you 30% more for pants based upon how much bloody fabric he would need to cut to drape those legs of yours.

Let's see...

So we have:

On the other hand, the golden ratio derived by the quadratic formula is

Yes, you correctly identified a 3% difference between these two numbers.

Is it at all possible that

's 60% number was a little bit of an approximation? I say that's possible... it's possible...


Duuuuuuuuude, no ******* clue what any of that ^ means, but:

But I don't claim to know anything about drafting shirt patterns, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
